President Joe Biden’s administration appears determined to project the image that United States remains the world’s hegemon regardless of cost or consequences and despite overwhelming developments around the globe that are contrary to such misguided hubris.

The American leadership has always rested on the carrot-and-stick approach to rally countries around a unipolar world headed by the US.

The carrot is in the form of foreign aid Uncle Sam dangles before a country as reward for joining the American camp. The stick is the threat of economic disengagement and sanctions and the withholding of military protection, thus stripping away that nation’s sense of security.

Since the financial crisis of 2008 and subsequent quantitative easing by printing billions of dollars to keep the US economy afloat, the economic might and stability of the American monetary system is not what it used to be in the minds of many nations.

When the Biden White House unilaterally confiscates foreign reserves owned by other countries but held in the US, such as in the cases of Afghanistan and Russia, the reputation of the US as a fiduciary is in doubt. The full faith in and credit of the US government cease to mean very much to the world.

Thus the carrot has dried and withered, and after the 20-year war and debacle in Afghanistan, the stick Uncle Sam carries appears to have shriveled and is not so intimidating. Sending arms but no troops to Ukraine merely confirms America’s preference for war by proxy with little appetite for direct engagement.

Bully on the block

Yet the Biden team seems oblivious to the erosion of the US stature as the world leader but insists on going around the world approaching each country and demanding that it choose sides and align with the American geopolitical positions.

The US has elected to designate China as its adversary for the foreseeable future. For allies and would-be allies to side with the US means they must also regard China as their adversary as well.

The American demand places these countries in a dilemma, because regarding China as an adversary is in conflict with their own national interests. China is most likely their most important trading partner and a potential major investor and major supporter in the building infrastructure under the Belt and Road Initiative.

China has expressed no interest in displacing the US to become the world hegemon and places no demand or expectation that countries choose sides. Friendship with China does not discourage or preclude friendship with the US.

Beijing’s style of international diplomacy makes it easy for countries to get along with China and with the US while demurring from being a fully committed formal member of the American alliance.

The Summit of the Americas held in Los Angeles this month hosted by President Biden is just the latest indication. Many Latin American countries including Mexico found reasons not to attend. Nothing like throwing a party that used to be a must-show event that nations now decide to bypass.

Russia proposes New Group of Eight

The Russian State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin suggested recently that the G7 nations – once considered the world’s leading economies – are continuing “to crack under the weight of sanctions imposed against Russia,” obviously referring to the sacrifice of their economic self-interest in order to meet the demands of the US.

Most other nations will have nothing to do with the American-imposed sanctions against Russia. From the non-compliant group of nations, Volodin proposes the formation of a “New Group of Eight” as counterweight to the G7.

He selects Russia, China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, Mexico, Iran and Turkey as members of NG8. Volodin reasons that this group of eight countries with a combined GDP (measured in purchasing power parity – PPP) is 24.4% larger than that of the G7 nations.

Furthermore, the NG8 contains about half of the world’s population and is much more representative of world opinion and interests. Ironically, Russia left the G7 group in 2014 and is now the promoter of NG8. This development can only be attributed to American insistence on remaining on top of a unipolar world, a unipolar world vaporizing Star Trek-style as we speak.

The Biden White House seems to think it has succeeded in getting Ukraine to go into war with Russia and is willing to send another $40 billion worth of weapons to Kiev to enable it to fight to the last Ukrainian. They now think that they can persuade Taiwan to do the same, namely, provoke China into conflict.

To provoke war with China, the Taipei government would have to declare independence. Washington has been encouraging the ruling Democratic Progressive Party to inch toward that red line, selling the party leaders the idea that the US is ready to go to war with Taiwan.

However, a majority of people in Taiwan do not find American assurances credible, do not believe Taiwan can win a proxy war against China, and cannot justify the death and destruction it would entail just to make Washington happy. The people in Taiwan also find it inconceivable that the Chinese would actually attack their own people on Taiwan.

China ready to go to war over Taiwan

In the meantime, Beijing has invoked the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and declared that the waters of the Taiwan Strait are within the territorial waters of China. Henceforth, any vessels belonging to foreign countries that sail between the mainland and Taiwan and challenge the sovereignty of China will be subject to attack without notice.

China is a signatory of UNCLOS while the US is not. Beijing has drawn the red line based on international law. Continued provocation by American officials in Taiwan will put US vessels in the Taiwan Strait in jeopardy.

The Beijing expression of its intentions is as stark and unequivocal as it can be. The next move will be up to the Pentagon to see if it is willing to test China’s resolve. There can be no question that China would rather fire on the US Navy than threaten Taiwan with missiles.

Heretofore, Biden has depended on creating more money out of thin air to keep the American economy going. Printing money has been so easy that sending $40 billion to Ukraine seems pain-free. Conflict over Taiwan and waters around there, however, would surely lead to a meltdown of the Fed printing press.

China on Tuesday slammed the enactment of the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act by the United States, stressing that the adoption of the lie-based act is just another attempt by the U.S. to smear China and contain its development. 中國周二抨擊美國頒布《維吾爾族強迫勞動預防法》，強調通過謊言法只是美國抹黑中國、遏制中國發展的又一次嘗試.

Asked to comment on the act, which will take effect on Wednesday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said at a press conference that the so-called “forced labor” in Xinjiang is completely contrary to the actual situation in the region. 中國外交部發言人汪文斌在記者會上被問及對將於週三生效的法案發表評論時表示，新疆所謂的“強迫勞動”與該地區的實際情況完全背道而馳.

from a U.N. list of colonies due to the unequal treatiesIn 1972, the United Nations acted to remove Hong Kong and Macao

In 1972, the United Nations acted to remove Hong Kong and Macao, which reverted to Chinese rule in 1997 & 1999, from a U.N. list of colonies due to the unequal treaties. Hong Kong was under colonial rule, not a colony. The sovereignty of colonial rule belongs to China and cannot be independent. If the original sovereign state of the colony has lost its sovereignty, the colony can become independent. 1972年，由於不平等條約，聯合國採取行動將1997 和1999年回歸中國統治的香港和澳門從聯合國殖民地名單中刪除. 香港是被殖民管治而非殖民地. 殖民管治主權屬於中國不能獨立. 殖民地原有主權國家丟了主權, 殖民地可以獨立.

拨乱反正！“香港从不是殖民地”写进香港教材

https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/K3YljLOx5TIOjrjKbZ-u3Q

从今年9月新学期开始，“香港从来不是英国的殖民地”将明确写入香港新版教材，这是中国香港改进教科书内容工作的一部分。

这一极其重要的历史认知，理所应当让香港下一代知道。然而，西方媒体却坐不住了。

6月15日，英国《泰晤士报》报道了此事，还对中国香港的教材内容指手划脚。BBC等英媒声称，这是特区政府不断尝试淡化英国在香港管治历史的又一举措。

美国《纽约时报》也跳出来借此事攻击中国正在收紧对香港的教育和文化管控。

6月17日，香港特别行政区第一届立法会主席范徐丽泰接受了《环球时报》采访并回应了此事。

她表示：“香港从来不是殖民地”，这不是一个新提法，而是中国的一贯立场，也是1972年联合国相关决议的内容。一些西方媒体最近大肆炒作香港新教材，其潜在意图是推动他们“香港曾是殖民地，有自决权并可寻求独立”的政治叙事，在香港埋下动荡的种子。

她还说，“很可惜没有外媒来问我对这件事的看法。如果有外媒就此事采访我，我会让他翻查一下1972年联合国到底发生了什么。我还要对他说，你们的国家在投票中输了，现在请不要造谣。”

范徐丽泰的回应不仅戳中了西方媒体大肆炒作香港新教材的阴谋的要害。同时也说明香港的教育领域的拨乱反正工作正在坚定有序地进行着。

从2019年的“修例风波”我们可以看到，一些香港年青人的历史认知荒谬到了何种程度。

我们现在要明明白白地告诉香港校园里的学生们，“香港从来不是英国的殖民地”。

关于这件事，甚至一些内地网友也是迷迷糊糊，评论区时常出现“有点懵”、“不太明白，能解释吗？”、“我都晕了”……等回复。

实际上在2017年7月21日，新华社发布的《新闻信息报道中的禁用词和慎用词》中就有过明确的规范：

不得将回归前的香港、澳门称为“殖民地”,可说“受到殖民统治”。

关于此事我以前写过一些，为什么我们不能将香港、澳门称为殖民地？因为这到关系到国家主权问题。

在当年这是一场严肃的政治和外交斗争，1997香港回归、1999年澳门回归，本身就是斗争的结果。

“香港回归以前是英国的殖民地”的说法，有的人可能不觉得有什么不对，但对于毛泽东这样一位伟大而敏锐的政治家来说，这种说法一旦变成国际共识，那就会影响到香港的主权问题和前途命运，必须说清楚。

为主权而斗争

1949年新中国成立，英葡两国对港澳的未来却还抱着某种幻想，尤其是英国，它会折腾”独立“问题，想用另一种方式继续控制香港。

50年代末全球殖民地争取独立的运动风起云涌，中国和其它社会主义国家都坚决支持它们的反霸权抗争。

在1960年举行的第15届联大上，苏联带领43个国家提出了《给予殖民地国家和人民独立宣言》草案，在大会上表决通过。

根据宣言内容，联合国成立了一个专门机构–非殖民化特别委员会。美国、苏联、英国、印度等24国为成员，该委员会将香港和澳门纳入了殖民地名单之中。

但香港、澳门的主权一直属于中国，它跟非洲、东南亚、南太平洋等殖民地性质完全不同。

毛主席立刻敏锐地意识到“《宣言》名单”将给港澳回归带来不可预测的复杂性。

被列为殖民地意味着什么？当殖民统治被结束后，殖民地有三种命运选择：

一 、宣布独立，成为联合国会员国（大多数殖民地的选择）；

二、成为联合国指定的被“托管”地区（像马绍尔群岛至今仍是美国的“自由联络国”；

三、与旧统治者签定政治、经济、军事新协议，实质延续殖民统治。

如果中国不对港澳被列为殖民地问题做出反应，那就等于默认接受港澳的未来有“选择”的余地，因为我们是认同《宣言》精神的。

所以，如何去反对非殖民化特别委员会将港澳纳入殖民地名单，是一场非常艰巨而微妙的斗争。

我们不能直接反对《宣言》，但又要说服大多数国家同意修改名单，将港澳剔除，可见难度之大。

还有一个难点是中国的联合国代表席位还被蒋介石当局窃取，但它们对这份《宣言》无动于衷，蒋介石是否意识到《宣言》对中国存在的隐患都不一定。毛泽东与蒋介石的眼光和格局真是有着天与地的差距。

英国则看到了变相延续殖民统治的希望，它甚至可以提前宣布放弃对香港的治权。这样既能占据道德高地，又能让香港“自主地选择未来”。

中国当然识破了英国的阴谋，对于中国来说，将来的香港除了回归祖国，绝不可能存在其它选择。

在未恢复联合国合法席位之前，中国蓄力待发，做好对各国的团结工作（为将来拉票）。

在毛主席和周总理指挥和部署下，中国外交人员为此积极工作了近十年时间，待时机成熟一举而定。

1971年，中华人民共和国恢复了联合国合法席位。

12月，中国驻联合国代表团申请加入“非殖民化特别委员会”，并顺利通过。

1972年初，毛主席趁热打铁，指示中国代表团尽早行动，将港澳剔除出殖民地名单。

1972年3月4日，中国驻联合国副代表张永宽在会议上发言，要求取消印度的“非殖民化特别委员会”成员资格，因为它在南亚进行霸权扩张，不配留在委员会（1972年3月5日《人民日报》）。

把印度赶出去，中国是理直气壮，印度对南亚小国的所做所为不就是变相殖民吗？另外，把印度拎出来，中国可以避免给别人带来一种专门是为了名单问题而来的感觉。

1972年3月8日，中国常驻联合国代表黄华致函“非殖民化特别委员会”主席萨利姆：“香港、澳门是属于历史上遗留下来的帝国主义强加于中国的一系列不平等条约的结果。香港和澳门是被英国和葡萄牙当局占领的中国领土的一部分，解决香港、澳门问题完全是属于中国主权范围内的问题，根本不属于通常的‘殖民地’范畴。因此，不应列入反殖宣言中适用的殖民地地区的名单之内。” 

6月15日特别委员会通过决议，并向联大建议将香港和澳门从名单中删除。

这离不开委员会主席、坦桑尼亚政治家萨利姆的大力支持。2019年9月17日，中国授予萨利姆先生“友谊勋章”（共六位外国友人，他是非洲唯一获此殊荣的人士），我们不会忘记这些当年帮助过我们的好朋友、老朋友。

中国支持《宣言》精神，但委会员也应当看到具体问题当中的普遍性和特殊性的关系，香港和澳门有特殊性，不能被普遍化。

特别委员会这一关通过后，斗争重点就放在了联大投票上。

不希望殖民地名单被修改的英国、美国也在私下拉票，但它们对票数感到绝望，英国连欧洲的票都拉不到几张。

1972年11月8日，联大对是否将港澳从名单之中删除的问题进行表决，当天投票结果：

支持删除：99票

反对删除：5票（美国、英国、法国、南非、葡萄牙）。

其它为弃权票。

范徐丽泰这次在采访中也提到了“99比5”的悬殊票数，但西方媒体现在根本不敢提联合国决议，只是一味地歪曲、造谣。

决议通过后，中国赢得了斗争的决定性胜利，在国际法理上确认了中国对港澳的主权，为回归奠定了最重要的基石。

毛主席当时已是79岁，周总理是74岁。港澳回归中国的基础已经打好，任何国家都无权把港澳回归问题提交联合国讨论，它们不是殖民地，主权完全属于中国，没有其它选择，剩下的只是回归时间和方式问题。

如果当年不是如此快速有效地解决这一问题，拖下去会非常麻烦，英国、美国可以拿着联合国殖民地名单，用《宣言》精神来跟中国折腾。

1972年12月14日，英国还曾致函联合国秘书长，做最后的挣扎，说名单修改的决议不应当影响香港的殖民地法律地位，但没人搭理它。

中国将香港和澳门从非殖民化特别委员会名单中删除，为中英交涉解决香港回归问题提供了最重要的国际法理依据，英国再怎么胡搅蛮缠都是徒劳的。

所以才有了80年代中英谈判时“主权问题不容谈判”这句话。

不少人将英国首相撒切尔夫人在人民大会堂摔倒那一幕视为斗争的开始，其实这是斗争的不同阶段。因为主权归属问题已经由毛主席那一代领导人解决了，什么叫远见卓识？这就是！

香港顺利回归中国20多年后，西方对中国香港仍然贼心不死，一边豢养走狗，一边抱团对中国香港指手划脚，这是一场新的斗争。

西方对香港教育领域进行了多年渗透，以前的教材里充斥着对自己国家的污名化、妖魔化的内容；对西方则是尽情美化，连鸦片战争都能说成是“帮助中国打击毒品”。直到去年8月10日，成立48年的香港“教协”才宣布解散。

“香港从来不是英国的殖民地”全面写入教材，西方就立刻跳脚了，可见教材内容是有多么的重要。

英国和美国一直在紧紧盯着香港的教材，但现在它们没有了工具，插不进手，只能活活急死。

只要敢于斗争，在中国香港各个领域拨乱反正，胜利就一定会属于中国人民。
